Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, we're talking about

Amazon's ring cameras that are rolling out a new, slightly controversial, AI-powered,

facial recognition feature to all of their video doorbells. We're going to get into the options

if you want to opt out of this, why people are, you know, thinking this is going to be a useful

feature, why Amazon's ring says this useful feature, and why some people think this is an invasion of privacy,

because it doesn't just recognize your face. It recognizes strangers' faces. So we're going to get into

all of that on the show today. Before we do, I wanted to mention if you want to get access to all

of the AI models that we talk about on the show, there's over 40 of the top AI models on my own platform, which is called AIbox.

We have a playground that lets you chat with all of the top models from Open AI to Anthropic to Google to Gemini to Claude and a whole bunch of really cool image models and audio models from 11 labs.

You could talk with all of them for $19 a month, all in one platform.

You can switch between them, test which one has the best responses,

compare them side by side.

It's an awesome platform for $20 a month,

so you don't have to have subscriptions to 40 different platforms.

If you want to go check it out, it is AIbox.box.a.I. I'll leave a link in the description.

All right, so Amazon's new ring doorbells is going to be able to identify any visitors that come

to your front door through a new AI-powered facial recognition feature. This is kind of controversial.

They're calling this new feature

familiar faces. And it was announced earlier in September, but they're finally rolling it out to

anyone in the United States. Amazon says that this is going to let you identify people that,

you don't come to your house very regularly. They're going to let you catalog up to 50 faces.

They kind of have a max at 50.
